TEST FUNCTION
After installation and at least once per quarter, test your alarm to make sure
it is operating correctly.
It is recommended to check visually every week if the green LED flashes
correctly (every minute)
When the top button is pressed the alarm sounder will sound, and when the button is released, the alarm will make a self-test of the sensor and battery for approximately 9 seconds. During this delay the three LEDs will be flashed in sequence. The result of the test will be indicated after the test has been completed.
If the test passes, the green LED will emit for 3 sec.
If the test fails, a fault indication will be given (See section 7).
After the test function is performed, the alarm will need to recover for one minute before the next test can be done (to allow the sensor chamber to re- settle after the test current is applied).
The alarm will also do a self-test every 24 hour and test the sensor for faulty sensor, drift or short circuit.
TIP: It is safe to cover the sound output hole with your finger during the testing to minimize the sound level emitted.
FAULT WARNINGS
Battery fault: Battery low condition is indicated by a very short tone burst “beep” every 60 seconds with yellow LED flashing. Your CO alarm battery is low voltage.
Sensor fault: Sensor fault is indicated by two very short tone burst “beeps” every 60 seconds with yellow LED flashing. Your CO alarm will not respond to CO.
End of life: End of sensor life is indicated by three very short tone burst “beeps” every 60 seconds with yellow LED flashing. Your CO alarm needs to be replaced.
